2020 Key Astrology Dates and Events

2020 JANUARY  *** we begin I do this report to help you better understand the sky and perhaps also open to recognizing others similarities so that is why I have some other types of Holidays listed

EVERY 28 and ½ days the sun moves to another house, or area of your life, as do usually Mercury and Venus, this opens you to a dozen new areas of life in a year.   Every month the MOON moves through our 12 houses opening us almost daily to some major energy and emotional changes

Full Moons are when the Moon (the past and emotions) sits across from the Sun (the now) this is perhaps the time when best we are open to releasing, and recognizing what cannot be changed, also the stress and physical pull upon our bodies and minds is very difficult for some.

2 and ½ days or so before the NEW MOON the energy of Balsmic moon comes upon us.  I have a great article on how to use this on my website http://www.carolbarbeau.com under articles.  This magical time can help clear your energy, body, MIND and spirit so please use it.  IF you buy a calendar you will notice these days are marked around in PINK.

From Full moon to new moon is releasing and I color that BLUE

New moon to Full moon is increase times and I color that GREEN
